  1. A copula-based joint deficit index for droughts

    31 Mar 2010 | Contributor(s): Rao S Govindaraju

    Current drought information is based on indices that do not capture the joint behaviors of hydrologic variables. To address this limitation, the potential of copulas in characterizing droughts from multiplevariables is explored in this study. Starting from the standardized index (SI) algorithm, a...

  2. A seasonal-scale climatological analysis correlating spring tornadic activity with antecedent fall–winter drought in the southeastern United States

    14 Jun 2011 | Publications | Contributor(s): Dev Niyogi

    Using rain gauge and satellite-based rainfall climatologies and the NOAA Storm PredictionCenter tornado database (1952–2007), this study found a statistically significant tendency forfall–winter drought conditions to be correlated with below-normal tornado days the followingspring in north...

  3. A spatio-temporal drought analysis for the Midwestern US

    15 Jun 2009 | Publications | Contributor(s): Rao S Govindaraju, Dev Niyogi

    Droughts are prolonged abnormalities of moisture deficits that vary widely across temporal and spatial scales. Many hydrometeorologic variables are used to monitor the status of a drought. However, because of the dependence structure between all affecting variables under various temporal windows,...

  4. Achieving Sustainable Irrigation Water Withdrawals: Global Impacts on Food Production and Land Use

    27 Sep 2017 | Publications | Contributor(s): Jing Liu, Tom Hertel, Richard Lammers, Alexander A Prusevich, Uris Lantz C Baldos, Danielle Grogan, Steve Frolking

    Unsustainable water use challenges the capacity of water resources to ensure food security and continued growth of the economy. Adaptation policies targeting future water security can easily overlook its interaction with other sustainability metrics and unanticipated local responses to the...

  5. Agricultural Productivity Growth for Long Run Sustainability

    08 Oct 2018 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Uris Lantz C Baldos

    Video presentation on "Agricultural Productivity Growth for Long Run Sustainability" for the 2018 Conference on the Long Run Sustainability of US Agriculture, the National Press Club, Washington DC, September 17, 2018

  6. An open source geospatial cyberinfrastructure for interdisciplinary collaboration and broader engagement

    26 Oct 2017 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Carol Song

    Solving complex global problems demands that researchers from different disciplines work together, and their analytical tools, models and datasets interoperate. This is especially true in the context of sustainability. For instance, multiple goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development...

  7. Analyzing Water Scarcity in Global CGE Models

    08 Sep 2017 | Publications | Contributor(s): Jing Liu, Tom Hertel, Farzad Taheripour

    Incorporating water into a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model operating at global scale can be extremely demanding due to the absence of standardized data, the sheer dimensions caused by intersecting river basins with countries, and difficulties to model demand for and supply of water....

  12. Debunking the 'New Normal': Why World Food Prices are Expected to Resume their Long run Downward Trend

    08 Sep 2017 | Publications | Contributor(s): Uris Lantz C Baldos, Tom Hertel

    Contrary to the opinions expressed by many commentators, the recent episode of higher prices for agricultural commodities is likely a transitory phenomenon. When compared to the last half-century, population growth is expected to be much slower in the coming decades, with nearly all of the growth...
